You might be encouraged to visit today, but Mutrah Fort hasn't always been so welcoming! Learn the story behind this stronghold and exactly what it was designed to defend.

Mutrah Fort is the perfect place to begin discovering Muttrah. This history-filled fortress is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow some time for other sights like Muttrah Souq, Qurum Beach, and Muttrah Corniche to really experience what the area has to offer.

8.4/10 Very Good! (162 reviews)

October 16, 2025 A BIG Thank You to the beautiful SAFAA at the Front Desk and to REDAH at the door who helped me. Also Thank You to the tall Omani guy at the Front desk Very nice people. The hotel is in an excellent location. There is a supermarket next door. Many restaurants around. Try the restaurant Seven Fish I paid 7 OMR It was delicious 3 minutes walk. Get out from the hotel then you turn left and walk you will see it the same side as the hotel. Hoping to go back to Oman next year Insha Allah. Imane Montreal, Canada
